Tin Star Liverpool

[Voodoo Billy]

Bloody kopites always in the media it’s a disgrace-oh hang on a minute

They'll have their day in series 4, Tin Star Oslo

Blue Star Chippy

Glad to see the Everton presence, but the plot is ridiculous.

People being shot, stabbed, and having their necks broken, with no apparent consequences.

Sounds like a normal day at the Liverpool planning committee when they are discussing our new stadium!

First series was good.
Second was woeful.
The third has started a little slow.

Not seen the bit with Everton coverage yet, hopefully it's positive.

The stills didn't come across very authentic Everton though...

Just watching series 1 now. The skinny lad from 51st State just isn't the same without a scouse accent.

Not overly impressed and might skip straight to series 3

Watched it all now.

I wouldnt recommend.

Lots of Everton fans in this, all looks a bit fake (we're cheering), but still good to show viewers it's our city

The choice of showing Everton fans celebrating in the pub came after a request from Ian Hart who plays the baddie. Ian is a massive Everton fan.

Sadly Tin Star has got weirder with every episode. A bit like another Sky production Fortitude in that regard.

Any crime series set in Liverpool tends to make me cringe. The same old worn out actors with nothing to offer like Womack and Schofield (Ian Hart gets a pass like).

Terrible apart from the free global publicity for Everton.

Why not? Arent we booing?

Tried the first series, couldn't get on with it at all, I'm not getting the impression this one is TV gold?

Might watch a few episodes just for the scenery. Been away just over a year now so will be good to see some of the old haunts.

Plenty of Water St Mathew St and Fenwick St feature in episode 1 Fred. You also get to see plenty of Ian Hart a top Evertonian. Apart from that it's a bit meh.

Well, I decided to pretty much binge-watch all three Tin Star series because of this thread. Although I felt the show got stranger as it progressed, I did sort of enjoy it. Kind of agree with @davek though, surely we have a better crop of more talented actors in Liverpool than what the third series dredged up.

The girl who played DI Lunt - the accent was so 'thick' I couldn't imagine any yank understanding it.

I'm just amazed that the Kopite tool from Crosby David Morrissey wasn't given a part.

At least she and Ian Hart are actually scouse . Some bad attempts at accents.
Incidentally, having met the rabid red Morrisey it is much better for everyone if he sticks to Brittania
